Here is the answer to yesterday's "What's Your Diagnosis?"!

Diagnosis: Laminitis

Laminitis is inflammation of the tissues laminae between the hoof and underlying coffin bone. This attachment between hoof bone can weaken and lead to rotation or sinking of coffin bone inside of foot. The front feet are much more commonly affected. This condition can cause mild to severe foot soreness.

Laminitis is often seen in horses with Equine Metabolic disease and/or Cushing’s disease. The diagnosis of these diseases can help minimize the incidence of laminitis or impair management of a current case.

Radiographs of feet can help monitor the changes inside the hoof and assist the farrier during trims and in some cases, specialty shoeing. During an acute case or chronic active case, pain management with anti-inflammatories and deeply bedded stalls are important. In severe cases, gel orthotic foot pads can be temporarily used and typically provide significant relief. Regular farrier care and diet management are also key in stabilizing most cases.

Your client calls you regarding her 15 year old Quarter Horse mare Hayley who is not willing to walk out of her stall this morning. She has no known serious lameness issues but according to the owner has occasionally been “stiff” on hard ground over the years. She is currently eating a grass/alfalfa mix hay and is turned out to graze for 6-8 hours per day.

An appointment is made to evaluate the horse and determine the reason why she is unwilling to come out of stall. On arrival, Hayley is standing in her stall eating hay. Her heart rate is mildly elevated at 48. She does not have a fever. When an attempt was made to move her in the stall, she needed lots of encouragement and still was very reluctant. She will not pick up either front foot for more than a couple seconds at a time. Heat can be palpated in both front hooves. She also has increased digital pulses in both fronts. Radiographs of her feet were taken. What’s your diagnosis?

Diagnosis: Maxillary incisor fracture of teeth 501, 601 and 602

Treatment: Interdental wire fixation.

If the horse has canines present and the patient is tolerable of the process, the wires can be secured around the back of the canine teeth for stabilization. However, in this case, the patient did not have canines. As a result this patient was placed under general anesthesia in order to secure the wires around the premolar teeth.

At the time of surgery it was also noted that the patient had a crown fracture of his 2nd maxillary premolar on the left side, prompting the wire to be placed further back on this side. This tooth will need to be extracted at a later date. The patient will require antibiotics while the wires are in place to prevent infection and will not be allowed to graze or eat from a hay net to prevent added stress to the wires. The patient will require a recheck appointment 8 weeks after wire placement to confirm fracture healing and remove the dental wires.

Overall these cases have a great prognosis.
